Who wants to play any of the millions of side scrollers when you could play the vertical scroller Tyrian? Over the years since Tyrian I have searched high and low for more games that scrolled vertically and let you control a ship with a mouse and found none. It seems this infinitely superior mechanic has vanished into thin air. Luckily our friends at GOG have resurrected this wonderful game. I remember playing it for the first time back in Jr. High. Spent the entire night with a friend customizing our ship, taking turns trying to beat levels, getting better and better powerups and weapons. There is just something excellent about the fluidity of the gameplay in this game that sets it apart from all the other flight scrollers out there, most of which are stupid side scrollers anyway. Act now and grab this title. If you gamed in the 90's, you won't regret it.
